A cochlear implant processor upgrade for Mariana: help Mariana move freely
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Mariana independence - we're $6,350 away.
🇺🇸 United States1,878 views
Mariana lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the New York Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,350.
Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Mariana could speak with the people around her. It would change everyday life for the whole family.
We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $6,350 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $90
• First-year servicing plan: $250
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $6,010
Thanks for reading all this.

thinking of you, Lorena. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of New York.
Hang in there. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Sending love, Lorena. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of New York.
Thinking of you, Lorena. Looking forward to the next update. After 22 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
